These days, we see so many online-inspired romances, that instead of asking, &#8220;How did you meet?&#8221; we should ask couples, &#8220;Which site brought you together?&#8221; After all, this was the case for today&#8217;s Real Weddings bride and groom. When mutual friends connected David with Rona on Friendster.com, David was initially intrigued by Rona&#8217;s experience living in exotic places, which included everything from Key West to Israel. They decided to meet, and Rona was impressed with David\u2019s genuine interest in her. A relationship blossomed, and the couple dated for over a year. <\/p>\n<p>One night they had planned to go to dinner with their parents, but when Rona arrived at David\u2019s apartment, he was late getting ready and suggested she catch up on the latest episode of <em>24<\/em>, a show they both loved to watch. Rona quickly discovered that the show he\u2019d put on wasn\u2019t <em>24<\/em> after all, but a <em>24<\/em>-style video of their first date followed by a slideshow documenting their time together as a couple \u2014 complete with theme music! When it was over, David asked Rona to report to the \u201csituation room\u201d (his bedroom) and proposed to her in Hebrew and English, presenting her with a diamond that was a family heirloom. This is a proposal that would definitely make Jack Bauer swoon!<\/p>\n<p>Mazel tov, Rona and David!<\/p>\n<p>Venue &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.templeemanu-el.com\/Public\/HOME\/index.cfm\">Temple
